From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1943 oil by Loren MacIver, a Abstract Expressionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows rows of small, shadowy faces packed tightly together. The colors are mostly deep reds and dark browns, with a few faint hints of green and purple. The faces are blurry, almost like they’re half-hidden in the dark. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, making the wood panel look textured. It feels like the artist wanted to show how crowded and heavy the scene is. If you like this style, check out impasto next.
Loren MacIver was an American painter and the first woman represented in the Museum of Modern Art's permanent collection.
